Nick Foles, released last week by the Los Angeles Rams, isn’t going to turn the 49ers quarterback competition a three-man race, if Chip Kelly has any say in it.

Kelly is pressing forward with Blaine Gabbert and Colin Kaepernick battling it out at training camp.

“I’m a big fan of Nick, but right now, our eggs are in Kap and Blaine’s basket,” Kelly said Monday morning on KNBR 680-AM. “We’re going to see what those guys can do and we’re very confident in both those guys.

“That’s really got nothing to do with Nick, but it’s got a lot to do with Blaine and Kap in giving them an ample shot at being the quarterback.”

Kelly doesn’t wield the same personnel power he had in Philadelphia last year. General manager Trent Baalke, the 49ers personnel czar, said Sunday that either Kaepernick or Gabbert must step up so the 49ers don’t have to address that position next year.

Even though Foles had a remarkable season for Kelly’s Philadelphia Eagles in 2014 (27 touchdowns, two interceptions), he got traded in March 2015 to the Rams for Sam Bradford.

Foles went 4-7 as the Rams’ starter last season, losing his final four starts. The Rams responded this spring by drafting Cal’s Jared Goff No. 1 overall.

The Minnesota Vikings and Buffalo Bills as the most likeliest suitors for Foles.

“If you have three guys in the mix, it gets really diluted,” Kelly continued, “and now you’re not going to get enough reps for anybody to make a determination on who the quarterback should be.”
